The Carlos Museum is one of the Southeast's premier ancient art museums with major collections of art objects from ancient Egypt, Nubia, Near East, Greece, Rome, ancient Americas, Africa, and Asia, as well as a collection of works on paper from the Renaissance to the present.

We got a family pass at our county library and visited on a Saturday. Make sure you have map quest on your phone, because the directions on the website were incorrect. Once we arrived, it was well worth the trip. The displays are fascinating. Our favorite was definitely the mummies room. The jewelry was also interesting. It's amazing what these...

Once we found it, it was good. We had difficulty finding it, however. Also, many Emory students that we asked for diresctions were unaware that it existed. Better signs would have helped.

If you call ahead a Doson can show you around and...

There are two floors of exhibits, with special exhibits on the upper floor (no photos there). Check their website for the dates of free afternoons. Their Egyptian display...
